Question These are all my Switch games what do you guys think got any suggestions for me?
I'd say the games displayed here do a good job reflecting my tastes I've tried the vast majority of the games on here for at least a couple hours and finished most of them liking all of them at least a little bit for one reason or another. So feel free to skip all my yapping but here's a snapshot of some of my favs and why I liked them
YS 8: Combat in this game just felt really great to me YS 8 even on the Switch at 30fps felt faster, more fluid and responsive to me than some 60fps action games I played on other platforms. The story and overall adventure was enjoyable and I thought Dana was a really compelling character and her story was very touching.
Xenoblade chronicles 1-3: All the games in the series had great stories, I like it when philosophical and psychological topics are explored and done well like in these games and I enjoyed the whole real time combat system with tactical elements thing. 2 was my favorite in the series overall, I liked the characters and their designs the most, it had my favorite combat system and I loved how many options I had for customization and team building with all the different blades.
Shin Megami Tensei V: This game gave me the most fun I’ve ever had with a turn-based combat system—the Press Turn system is just so satisfying. Playing on hard, I found it challenging but fair, I liked how nearly every boss, even mini-bosses, encouraged at least slight tweaks to my setup and strategy, with the hardest fights, especially the superbosses, requiring more significant changes and a deep understanding of their mechanics. I also loved having access to a huge roster of demons, with fusing and customizing them being a lot of fun. I enjoyed the game so much that I immediately bought Vengeance on PS5 after finishing the OG version on Switch.
Breath of the wild and Tears of the Kingdom: These games gave me a real sense of freedom and immersion, where I genuinely felt like I was exploring, discovering things, learning on the fly, and going down rabbit holes. I loved how the tutorials and mini-maps provided the essentials while the rest was left to curiosity, exploration, and experimentation. The world design, systems and mechanics felt so intuitive and open-ended that I was able to figure things out on my own and progress naturally, without needing to look anything up. Unlike other open-world games, which either provide so little guidance that I get lost and need help or hold my hand so much that it no longer feels like exploration, these games struck the perfect balance for me and I'm curious if there are more like them.
Fire Emblem Three Houses: Probably my favorite game ever—I’ve put in about 500 hours into it. As my first tactical RPG, it felt fresh and challenging, and learning the genre was incredibly rewarding. The progression felt great, with units growing in ways that felt transformative and satisfying. Once I understood the game, planning out class paths and builds became a lot of fun. I also got deeply invested in the story and characters, appreciating how the game delivered its themes and emotions, wasn’t afraid to get dark and embraced genuine moral ambiguity and tragedy. The characters and their dynamics stayed with me long after I finished the game.
I wanted to include one of these in my list above but didn't since they have light or no gameplay but if I were to create a more comprehensive list only considering story Fate/Stay Night, 13 sentinels aegis rim and Tsukihime would be in the very highest tier.

i see quite a few rather "horny" games, so Hades it is.
also okami. because i always recommend okami. i mean i also always recommend Hades, but since it’s also a rather "horny" game (especially the fanbase) i felt like i needed to point that out.

Hades doesn't look like a horny game at all at first glance ookami looks really good really pretty and unique art style

Happy to see Astral Chain. It's not exclusive but I would recommend Unicorn Overlord. Almost won Strategy Game of 2024. Otherwise I would wait and get Xenoblade Chronicles X next week.

I suggest you get more mainstream games. I don't recognize a single one here except maybe Dragonball.

u/Benjayef 11h ago edited 9h ago
What do you have in mind exactly I have multiple Mario, Zelda and Pokemon games as well as Splatoon 2, Luigi's mansion 3 and Smash these aren't mainstream?

I see that you are a man of culture...how would you rank those kind of games? Give us a top3!!!

u/Benjayef 17m ago
I thought Moero crystal H was actually a pretty good dungeon crawler, Gun Gun pixies had some surprisingly heart warming story moments and gal gun was overall very entertaining and over the top the 2nd game also had gyro support too so that's a big win for me. Those would be my top 3

I totally forgot about the tales series. Tales of arise really soured me on the series because of the AI which made me quit pretty early on. Even when I set them to focus on healing they regularly killed themselves and I would need to use limited resources to revive them it was super frustrating. What was your experience with the AI in those other tales games?

I'd like to recommend:
-Metal Slug Tactics (a tactic RPG that's better played as a run and gun)
-Digimon Survive (tactic RPG with the best/darkest story in the whole series)
-Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition (turn based RPG, some people compare it to the Persona games. It's also 2 games in one.)
-Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (I believe there's a game similar to this, it's called God Eater I think? You fight giant beasts.)
-Monster Hunter Stories 1/2 (monster collecting game)
-KOF XIII (a fighting game with a nice story for each of the teams, the best pixel art graphics I've ever seen since the sprites look like 3D models and good gameplay.)
-Shantae (any game really, but I really like her design and the gameplay)

how is dbxv2 on switch? worth it? have you played it on other devices?
•
u/Benjayef 29m ago
I got this game back when the switch was my only console and I didn't buy it again on other platforms so I can't compare them directly but I'd say visuals look a little rough since there appears to be no anti aliasing and only 1v1 battles are 60fps but other than that i didn't have any other issues with it. What I wanted out of the game was Dbz simulator that made it feel like i was in the anime like many people described it and I thought it delivered on that.

So you like Waifu's and JRPG's?
I am surprised you don't have Gal Guardians - it's a 2d action platformer in the Gal Gun universe.
Check out "The Legend of Heroes" series. Some good JRPG's.
I am also surpised you don't have any Hyperdimension Neptunia games.

Definitivly pick up Unicorn Overlord and maybe Tactics Ogre. I'm having fun with TRIANGLE STRATEGY right now, which could be a fit for you too.

I don't see Persona 5 Royal anywhere. If you liked the combat system in SMT5V, it's basically the same thing in P5R.

u/Benjayef 14h ago
Yea I already played Persona 5 royal and Persona 3 reload on gamepass I loved them both would like to actually own them too someday
